I still remember watching this on TV when I was 16 and being blown away.

What's most amazing is that they were between 18 and 20 years old when the wrote this music. I bow my head in awe......

i heard that my friend passed away about 30 minutes ago and from this moment on.. i'm just listening to sigur ros. best thing i can do now. so beautiful and bittersweet. i love these guys.

Stunning. I have never been to a better live show.

once you've heard them live you'll never be the same

This is the show that made me a huge Sigur Rós fan.

I´seen Sigur Ros in Germany at the Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel! And when Songs came the Sky became a weird formation. 70000 people were looking at the sky with these songs! It was a very Magic Moment!

Sigur Ros are touched by God. There is no other band that comes close to understanding sound like they do.

svefn-g-englar is perhaps the greatest song ever written and they play it even better live than on the cd. i cant put into words the feelings that come out when i here sigur ros play their music. its unexplainable. but perfect. absolutely perfect. im in love with their music.

i have seen them perform twice, and each time, i had tears in my eyes... i hope they'll never stop making this beautiful music... i own all their cd's, not coppied! you may not copy their cds! greets form a big fan, maarten

This is one of the coolest indie/experimental rock bands I've ever seen at their finest. I simply have no other band to whom I can compare their music. Absolutely brilliant.

The only band that makes the hairs on my arms stand up.

I'm a music junky! As a Nightwish fan of 3 years I own all their CDs & DVDs. It's a matter of taste but I think they're one of the all-time greatest Power Rock bands I've heard. They've both male & female vocals. Tarja was replaced by Anette recently. Truely epic sound. Songs like, I Wish I had an Angel, Islander, Over The Hills & Far Away, Amaranth, & Pink Floyd's High Hopes marks them as worthy of listening. Many who hear them for the first time consider them their new favorite band.

This was the first time I saw Sigur Ros, when they aired this show back in HBO. I was so amazed I couldn't stop crying out of the impression. Last year I saw them in NYC and I had that feeling again, my heart in my throath, my jaw almost on the floor, and tears running in my cheeks. I can't think of anything more intense than Sigur Ros playing live...

honestly so much of a radiohead concert is how thom yorke is feeling on the particular night. anyone who knows anything about thom knows this. his emotions effect the entire concert. ive seen them twice, and one was definately better than the other, not the music, but in the way thom handled himself on stage. wasnt the same, hes easily disturbed and effected by outside things. one show was the best ive ever seen by any band. love sigur ros and radiohead both. both inspire me.

This is my favourite band.

I watched this when it first came out on HBO and it changed my life 🙂

Haha- A VIOLIN STICK! HE'S USING A VIOLIN STICK!!! I love the bit where he sings into the guitar, sounds so nice.

Sigur Ros owns my soul!

This gives a real meaning to life.

Omg this is just....perfect... Sigur Ros is the most beautiful band ever...some people says that Air is better but no way...

nothing like Sigur Ros live!!!! cant wait for their tour this fall!!

His guitar sound is so much more edgy and clear during this concert, compared to their latest concerts. This is so awesome!

25:18. That’s me over the girl in the foreground’s left shoulder. That was an incredible show. I saw them about 4 years later after Takk.. was released and that was an even better show.

I cut my musical teeth on the Progressive Rock era. I never thought that anyone thereafter could ever challenge the shear power & majesty of YES, EL&P, Pink Floyd, RUSH, Van Der Graff Generator, Moody Blues, Genesis, WHO, King Crimson, etc. but I happily concede that today's music is better than ever. With bands like Sigur Ros (I'm a fan for 10 years), Nightwish, Muse, Radiohead, Amethystium (super incredible 1 man band), etc., I think the musical baton has been passed without dropping.

i Love this band!

Essa banda mudou todo o meu conceito musical. Estou conhecendo agora e confesso, estou simplesmente apaixonado!

Feels like... like heaven...

I am SO glad I found this! I used to watch the HBO Reverb programs religiously - this was always my favorite. I don't know exactly what it is, but every time I hear them I can't help but be at peace.

What breaks me, and puts me back together...All the same.

I love this deep and strong sound from the bowed guitar. I could listen to it for hours. And Sigur Ros sound in general ... Thanx for the video

I was just about to go bed but after the first 3 minutes i dicded to open op another beer :-)

a classic live ever.

I can't hit these high notes... I lost all the cds I had when I became homeless ahah Ispent my student loan on them all. sigur make me happy. von is the best. :)

it is! ive seen a few concerts, and been to some festivals, and Sigur Rós had the best concert, and the best festival-performance... the room and festival-place were quiet, and the atmosphere were just mind-blowing... i can't wait for summer, the festival-time!

I was astonished by the guitar thing and guy's voice, wich is incredibly sharp!

wow... amazing just speachless....

definatley one of the greateat bands around

Set List: 1st Song: Ny Batteri 2nd: Sven-g-Englar 3rd: Olsen Olsen All from the Agaetis Byrjun album.

the very best. i love Sigur Ros...

I love it. It is music for the cetacean in all of us

They're just amazing at so many levels...

I dont believe you can really say Radiohead gave a bad concert (having been to one myself). It's just that Radiohead tends to be more technically accurate in their concerts, while Sigur Ros improvises more. It's just different styles. You can like one more than the other, but you cant say any of them sucks. In fact, I think they are both terrific, and we should thank God or whomever for giving us the opportunity to see these bands perform live. I for one cherish every minute of their concerts.

that was amazing when he sang into his guitar! completely brilliant!!!!

Always gives a smile in my heart.

Che bella sensazione farsi solleticare l'anima...solo voi ci riuscite SIGUR ROS!

sigur ros is the greatest, i like their album takk...

Sigúr ros,il miglior gruppo dai tempi dei Pink Floyd!!!

just amazing.

Simplesmente fenomenal!

...........................divine

Ive seen them 5 times and also traveled from Edinburgh to London to see Jonsi in his solo show.They are recording a new album after he's finished the solo stuff so go see them they will blow your mind and if you can buy Heima the dvd its amazing.

Semplicemente strepitosi...

you guys should check out the list of instruments they use. on their cd cover it says they use stuff like a metal pot from some market they went to, a gong from a tibetan monk, a glass bowl from an old lady among other things. amazing....good band to knock out over weed

I LOVE SIGUR ROS!!!

the name of the song is "ný batteri", from the album "ágaetis byrjun"

sigur ros are great!

It's lovely!I discovered their music only a few days ago and now I'm already infected.Can't get enough of it!A bit like Björk.I'd love to got ot Iceland,there you must get a specail feeling for life somehow...

and then u must have their music at my funeral too,

20.22 love it

This is my favourite band...maynard...

amazing song, but damn 27min ! this is pure creativity mixed with a dash of genius haha

This is fucking sick shit right here... I LOVE this band sooo much.... incredible¸!

gosto do jeito como ele canta

Be Proud ICELAND!!!!

8:36 the beginning of a dream...

Man, that's one of the best concert DVD's i've ever seen. Do with there were more songs on it though like ny batteri, the nothing song, i gear, ect. Still a great movie though.

Fantastic

Great performance, as usual, from Sigur Ros.

i dont know... i feel the same way but sometimes when i listen to it i jolt and cant help but get an energy rush. i think its a different reaction to the music. i cant get mad at them for that. and they clapped at amazing parts.

..amazing

that is really cool

thank you

increible!!

Just ♥

awesome thanks zaoenchrist

thats because its the most relaxing music to listen to! except von at night..thats scary!

6:20 blows my mind , but so does the whole band

Why so much hate with the comments on this video when the song represent heaven on earth?

im suprised that 14:52 worked so well. what a great effect.

i second that! :D

oh haha lol, im blown, thanks for letting me know :)

Like you... I love this song!! Luvyaishk

thanks for this they r just ............ can't find the word yes just exacty what i need

Amazing

ahhh I was at this show. amazing

That is really music

fuq so good!

I actually achieved the same sound that he is getting here. Any solid body guitar works (Les Pauls have a good design body that fits a bow nicely) i have humbucker pickups in mine and i think he does to. Just run it through a pretty good amount of distortion and A LOT of reverb. A delay sounds good too

When I replied the first time it was to kokobedima's comment to watch Heima. This is from some TV show I believe and these were the only 3 tracks played. Sorry for the confusion. Heima is still a great piece of art though.

There seems to be some debate/confusion about what songs are in this video... let me say, with absolute confidence, that the songs are: 1) Ny Batteri 2) Svefn-G'Englar 3) Olsen Olsen now, i might have spelled something wrong or whatever but these are the correct names of the songs Hope that helps!

@kingdomjared It actualy IS a life changing experience. I was close to miss them cause I was going to buy tickets for Mogwai in NYC(it was the same date, Sept. 18th 2008), and I can't remember why I didn't buy them, but it was the best desicion/heavenly intervetion I've ever had.

Ny Batteri, Svefn g englar, Olsen Olsen... they're all from the album "Agaestis Byrjun"

They're just ... great! there's nothing more to say (;

He never mentioned that. He said he started using the cello bow by pure coincidence and experimenting since originally the bass player tried using it on the bass, and that sucked so he took it instead.

Their studio albums are great but nothing like their live show.

FreeBird!

mano, muita onda esse som

*Svefn g Englar" is the most beautiful song I know of! Ever!

wow
